Houston's Phi Slama Jama (see ESPN trailer) overcame Hakeem Olajuwan fouling out guarding Jacksonville's Artis Gilmore (23 points, 9 rebounds) to win a game between national runners-up 74-67.
You may notice on Gilmore's card that in the spot where most players make a 3-point shot, Gilmore and some great centers from the days no centers took 3-point shots scores a basket and draws a foul for a chance at a traditional 3-pt play.
The 180th game we've played since inventing the Value Add Basketball Game a couple of years ago propelled Houston up to 23rd in our rankings of the 136 great teams in the game, and advanced them to play #7 Kansas 1997 in the Elite 8 of our new tournament. Michael Young led the way with 21 scores and 3 steals in the win. During that season it was Young, not Clyde Drexler or Olajuwan, was the teams leading scorer.
With Olajuwan out with fouls, power forward Larry Micheaux saved the day with a 16-point, 14-rebound game against the two 7-footers for Jacksonville. In his real career Micheaux closed out his rookie NBA career with a 17-rebound, 5-steal game.
The results of all 180 games we have played are listed here.
While UCLA won our original 96-team tournament, Kansas moved slightly ahead of them in our rankings with a series of lopsided wins against all-time great Big 12 teams.
